In 2017, the Saxon State Parliament in Dresden started a comprehensive project to upgrade its entire video surveillance system. However, during the reconstruction, difficulties were encountered with the transmission of video and data, amongst other things.

On testing the system, it was found that video recordings were not being made at all, or if they were, only in very poor image quality, and in some cases data packets were not being received. At this point, a Siemens technician who had previously had good experience with barox equipment asked the manufacturer to step-in and help to solve the various transmission issues.
